Pear and 5 Spice Spritzer

Pear and 5 Spice Spritzer

Reducing waste in the kitchen is easy when you have a delicious cocktail on the other side of it! Instead of discarding the juice from a can of pears down the drain, combine it with a bit of Chinese 5 Spice and sugar for a unique cocktail you won’t forget.

2 oz Wheyward Spirit 

3/4 oz fresh squeezed lemon juice 

2 1/4 oz Pear and 5 Spice Syrup 

Club soda

Combine Wheyward Spirit, lemon juice, and syrup into a shaker with ice and shake to combine. Serve in a highball glass over crushed ice and top with club soda to taste. Garnish with star anise.

‍

*Pear and 5 Spice Syrup

1 cup pear juice, drained from a can of pears in juice 

1 cup white sugar 

2 tsp Chinese 5 Spice blend

Add all ingredients to a small pot on medium heat. Cook until just bubbling while stirring and allow to cool on the stove. Strain through cheesecloth or a fine mesh strainer and store in an airtight container.

Wheyward Spirit’s sustainability efforts don’t stop with the spirit. The Waste Not Sour reflects our values of upcycling and reducing food waste whenever possible by using aquafaba in place of egg whites, and zesting lemon for garnish before using the fresh juice. The result is a creamy, foamy, and sustainable cocktail so you can feel good about what’s in your glass down to the last drop.

Waste Not Sour

Drawing inspiration from traditional sour cocktails, the Yuzu Sour blends the familiar sweet and sour taste with a twist of east Asian flair. Featuring yuzu, a citrus favorite in East Asia, this cocktail mirrors the delightful taste of a Lemon Cream tart. The combination of yuzu’s zesty tang and the smoothness of Wheyward Spirit offers a simple, yet unforgettable cocktail experience.

One of our favorite cocktails with a Wheyward Spirit twist is the La Mucca Negroni! Whether you like it sweet and delicate or big and bold, treat yourself to a classic cocktail with herbal, orange, and spice notes.

La Mucca Negroni

Clarified milk punches date back to the 1600’s, but we think it’s a recipe that has finally come full circle with the addition of Wheyward Spirit. We love this cocktail because it’s just as much a journey in food science as it is mixology! This labor of love leads to a pre-batched and incredibly smooth flavorful punch that can be stored for weeks and quickly served for large groups. 

Our crystal clear Tropical Milk Punch is a beautiful color with a tropical brightness, cooling mint and green tea undertones, rounded out by a silky smoothness.

The Last Wheyword is a perfectly balanced, bespoke twist on the classic Last Word. It’s refreshing and slightly sweet, with a silky smooth mouthfeel that comes from the addition of Wheyward Spirit. The flavor is rounded out with complex herbal and cherry notes that are so delicious you’ll be craving a second!

An elevated alternative to this iconic cocktail, Wheyward Spirit’s natural smoothness creates a martini you’ll never forget. Best shaken, not stirred.

Cozy up by the fire with a Wheyward Toddy to warm your heart and your belly! Choose your cocktail adventure with the velvety smooth experience of Wheyward Spirit or Wheyward Wheyskey, both of which pair perfectly with the bright citrus juice and the earthy allspice dram.

‍

Wheyward Toddy

Wheyward Wheyskey brings warm notes of oak, vanilla, and spice, balanced by bright lemon and the soft nuttiness of orgeat for a silky, elevated take on a classic sour. Angostura and expressed lemon peel add aromatic depth to every velvety sip.
